My friends from out of town (who used to live in San Antonio) wanted to try La Cafe :) ! It was a fantastic choice because this gem of a cafe is located in the Alamo Ranch area, and we had never been to this trendy side of San Antonio before :D ! We absolutely loved the Parisian cafe theme, with cute Eiffel Tower decorations all around :) ! We tried the artistic - looking peach dessert with fruity filling on the inside :) ! As well as the matcha baklava that was very unique and delicious ;) ! The coffee choices are very rich and flavorful, and not too sweet or bitter :) ! Interestingly, there is also gelato as well in this Parisian - themed cafe :D ! How perfect is it to pair gelato and coffee choices together for a relaxing afternoon ;) ? The two employees who took our orders at the counter were very friendly and courteous :) ! This is the closest we could get to Paris for now :) ! We would highly recommend this cute cafe to anyone who is visiting the Alamo Ranch area :D ! read more

Slightly pricier when it comes to coffee, with a few caveats in terms of the specials - I tried some of the pastries there in a group of 3, with 2 of us trying Honeycomb Coffee, and the other trying a Cappuccino. Although I might be slightly biased as this was my first time trying those mousse fruit desserts, we shared the mango, blackberry, and strawberry mousse. They are wonderful. We debated on whether or not the mango could have been less sweet, but in terms of how the chocolate shell on the outside complimented the mousse, it was hard to conclude. Sure, it is pricier, but if there was anything to pick on, it would be the fact that it is a bit far from San Antonio and that maybe some more specials specifically with the desserts could be done. Although it's cheap suggestion, I would not mind paying $25 for 3 mousse desserts. The service was welcoming and friendly. I asked about their coffee, asked about if the Honeycomb tasted better iced or hot - I didn't regret my decision nor one of the lady's suggestion. Cozy ambiance, and definitely more modern... A great place to work, and with owners that are open to feedback. This was evidenced by the stands on the table that encouraged customers to review their drinks and pastries. I wouldn't know anything about if they look at them, but do try their place regardless. Let's hope they do. read more

You've seen it on TikTok, Instagram, & Facebook- fruit entremets, formally known as "trompe l'oeil fruit desserts." This french delight looks beautiful and tastes ever better! Pick your palate's preference and viola! Take your time, and consider your options because you definitely should try the fruits, but you should also consider the other options they have- a plentiful variety of Baklava, Eclairs, Crepes, Waffles, Puddings, Mousses, Cakes, Cookies, wnd more. The staff is friendly, patient, and kind. read more

I was a little bit skeptical each time some places claim to be authentic Mediterranean. I'm glad I gave this place a shot. A chef from the kitchen spoke the language and this is legit! They got the baklava (too bad we had it take out) or it would be great to try their Turkish coffee. Next time. I got the Dubai chocolate bar and it was delish. They give military discount so that's a plus! This would be a good night spot as well they have the outdoor seating which is rare in this area. read more

Super cute cafe! They have a nice outdoor seating area and plenty of indoor seating whether you're by yourself or with a large group. One wall has booth seating across it with a chair on the other side of the table. There's also a couch with some comfortable chairs near a coffee table for a more relaxed feel. The employees greeted us with a quick "welcome in!" the moment we walked in despite having someone at the cashier counter ready to order. When we were ordering they did the same thing which may come across as rude to some, but I actually felt it was very inviting and appropriate. There are cases of pastries and some gelato across the counter to explore as you wait to order. The menu is a bit hard to read as I don't have the best eyesight even with my contacts. I'm not sure if they offer handheld menus, I didn't bother asking, but I did take a photo and zoom in to help see the descriptions better. The food was delicious. My husband ordered the Turkish breakfast which came with a lot of different items. He also got the tiramisu latte and said it was really good- for someone that doesn't like coffee that probably means it didn't taste much like coffee! I got the Belgian waffle which comes with chocolate and bananas. It was good, but there was quite a bit of chocolate on there so take that as you will. The flavor was good, though! I also got a dulce de leche latte which was amazing. I'll definitely swing through just for a coffee from time to time. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back when we're in the mood for that food in particular. If you're looking for a traditional American breakfast, they have avocado toast which comes piled with scrambled eggs as well as a croissant sandwich without meat. Those would be what we try next time we visit. read more

Everything in this establishment is perfectly done. The service, the atmosphere, the flavor of the food, the presentation. This is one of the best pastry/brunch places I have been to in awhile. Special shout out to the strawberry pastry it was absolutely delicious. I also really enjoyed the salad served alongside my salmon toast. The tomatoes and salad dressing had a really unique flavor that i thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing spot to enjoy some pastries and coffee with the family or with friends. read more

Great spot to pick up lunch or a sweet treat. I did wish their desserts had names and descriptions but the mousse is self explanatory. The peach is peach flavored and so on. I don't like bothering staff with a million questions so I went with what's safe in my book, since my husband and I have some fruit allergies. I also took home some chocolate dessert but since they don't have name idk what it was, but it was tasty. The panini was fantastic and came with a salad which was a nice surprise. Staff is friendly and Vibes are nice, a mix of people some getting work done and some families. There are 2 outdoor seating areas. Overall will return and try some coffee next time. read more

I had a wonderful experience at La Cafe. I ordered the honeycomb latte, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly balanced and not too sweet. I also had the croissant sandwich, which was fresh and excellent. We couldn't leave without trying their famous fruit dessert. I went with the strawberry mousse, which wasn't quite my favorite, but the pistachio cookie completely stole the show--OMG, it was amazing! I will definitely be coming back. The only negative I experienced was no one greeting me when I walked in or at some point. There's plenty of parking all around the building. read more

I lovee the ambiance here! Maybe it is the eiffel tower decoration at the front door, but it makes you feel like you're travelling to a bakery in Paris haha (I never been there so idk). I came here specifically for the fruit shaped mousse cakes. I tried the mango and the christmas tree (pistachio flavor). I am absolutely in lovee with the mango mousse cake! I has a chocolate shell and I love the crunch! The mousse is also light and fluffy. The mango puree in there is also sweet and juicy. I'll need 5 more of these. The christmas tree didn't have have a chocolate shell, so it was all mousse. The flavor on this is great, it has a good hint of pistachio flavor it is not too overpowering. Service was great. The person taking my order was very nice and recommended these 2 items. However, the interior is very dirty and messy. There were a lot of tables uncleaned and the floor had a lot of trash. read more

French anything usually is promising so we rushed here when we saw they also have the viral fruit pastries WOW! They did not disappoint! I'd drive out here again for these not just because of the taste and presentation but also because of the ambiance of this cafe paired with the friendliness of the staff. Super cute inside with a good amount of seating and tables and lots of options to eat and drink. All of the pastries we tried were amazing but our favorites were apple, strawberry, and coconut! It was so alarming how realistic the treats were while also being true to the flavor. The pumpkin one is also really fire but highly recommended with a coffee, it was the only one that was extremely rich for my sweet tooth. We'll definitely be back to try some other sweets soon! Thanks for the experience read more

Had a good feeling about this place and pleased by the experience. Great ambiance and decor, enjoyed the large family style table in the middle. Shared it with 4 other small groups. The food and pastry options were on fire! I could eat their everyday and not run out of options. Lots of coffe options to choose from a well. My group ordered baklava latte, decaf German chocolate and white mocha, all were and perfect blend of sweet without too much sugary flavor. Avocado toast with egg, croissant breakfast sandwich, and Nutella crepe with bananas. Sooo good. The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked - so fluffy and not dried out. Service was fabulous, they made some recommendations after we asked, bring the order to you, no calling out names. read more

My Turkish breakfast plate was delicious and very inviting. It came with sweet tomato's, slice cucumbers, slices mozzarella cheese, cream, cheese, raspberry jam, honey that was to die for...,Oliver's and large toasted sesame bagel. My daughter's Caprese Toast very tasty with each bite you want more. We had cappuccino and Turkish coffee with our meal. Afterward we tried their devilish desserts. There were so many to choose from. We finally decided on the strawberry, pistachio cannolis and chocolate moose. It was so delicious! The service was great. At cashiers was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and recommended the Caprese Toast for my daughter. The atmosphere and decor were incredible cute and memorable. We will definitely be back. We are on the other side of town but the drive it wroth the drive. read more

I knew I wanted to check this place out while passing it while while leaving our neighborhood. I needed a place to work for a few hours so stopped in. Their pastries are works of art! I chose one that I swear looked like it would be $20 it was so exquisite. However, I grew up working in my parents' donut shop, so I always am slightly underwhelmed when I get a fancy pastry that is not so sweet. There are dozens of choices, so I'll be back to find one that hits the sweet spot for me. The space is very well appointed. There are tables outside with some shade depending on the time of day and your tolerance of non-climate controlled air. read more

We stopped by after seeing the pastries online, they looked beautiful. However, after asking a few questions, most of the filled "french" pastries actually had the same filling - either vanilla or chocolate mousse. I asked the young woman what the pumpkin pastry was filled with, and after joking that she didn't know, she said it had a pumpkin jelly filling. I ordered a strawberry cube, a pumpkin with vanilla flavor, and baklava. After a few bites of the pumkin there was no trace of pumpkin flavor jelly. Both of the "french" pastries were just vanilla. I'm leaving out the mousse because it wasn't a mousse texture, more dense like. We were disappointed after trying the French pastries. I went online to read more reviews and noticed that the strawberry cube is supposed to have a strawberry filling. So, I cracked the entire strawberry cube and the "filling" was just a small bit on the top corner. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for their "french" pastries, though the baklava was quite good. read more

Beautiful and inviting hidden gem. We went at about 9 am on a week day and it was not too busy. The food did take a while but we understood they are a small business with limited staff. The barista who assisted us was soooo patient, accommodating and kind (plus beautiful) and made our first experience very memorable. The waffles were all delicious and lattes thoughtfully made. Just wish they had a loyalty program read more

A great place to meet up with friends, Book clubs or just go study. They are a coffee shop with an amazing pastry item selection. They also have a small menu of main dishes and crepes. I am not a big fan of sweet drinks, so I was afraid to order her a latte as they use flavoring syrup pumps. I ended up ordering the pistachio eclair and Earl Grey tea. The pistachio eclair was so worth it. It had a pistachio filling. I was able to have a taste of my friend's crepe and latte. The latte was surprisingly not as sweet as I expected it to be. The crepe my friend ordered was a good size and had a good amount of bananas. One of my friends did get the carrot cake and it wasn't what we expected. It was dry. The place is very cute and has plenty of seating. The noise level is appropriate. They do have a little outside area as well. Parking is available on site, but share with the other businesses so it can get busy. The service was excellent. read more

This is officially my new favorite café! I absolutely love their strawberry cake rolls--they have real chunks of strawberries and aren't overly sweet, which is perfect if you're watching your sugar but still want to enjoy a treat.What I really appreciate is how versatile the space is. Whether you're meeting a client, catching up with friends, bringing your kids to relax on the cozy couches with a book, or hosting a team meeting at their large table, there's a spot for every mood.They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I'm excited that they'll soon have an even wider variety of sandwiches--perfect for group meetings or a casual visit. Their dessert selection is impressive too, from fruit-filled cakes to unique chocolate treats like crêpes and other Dubai-inspired sweets. And if you're a coffee or tea lover, they also have great refreshers to choose from.The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and feels like a place you can truly settle into. I recently met with a client here to talk about investment properties, and we both loved the environment. The cheesecake was spot on--not too sweet, but rich and full of that classic cheesecake flavor. Definitely a must-try.This will absolutely be one of my go-to spots for client meetings moving forward. read more

NEW ELEVATED BAKERY & CAFE IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS La Cafe needs to be on your list! This beautiful French patisserie with Turkish influences had its Grand Opening just 5/16 and I know San Antonio is going to love it! (The owners have confirmed the establishment is entirely HALAL by the way) They put a clear emphasis on their elevated desserts and pastries. These eye-catching desserts have unique molds and colors, being almost too pretty to eat They also sell some traditional Turkish baked goods such as Turkish bagels and borek, and even have Turkish delight! Also not to mention, chocolate on tap, which was used to make a delicious Dubai chocolate cheesecake! Don't forget to pair your baked goods with a cute cup of coffee! The sweetest barista made me a latte with the cutest bear latte art on it Feeling hungrier? Check out their menu for a savory sandwich, crepe, or waffle! These items just came out this week while they were in their soft opening phase! They have a pretty good breakfast menu too! If you ask me, everything was a great pick, so you can't go wrong! My favorite pastry right now is their French pistachio one! Open daily read more

While the desserts are absolutely gorgeous they don't taste at all like "French mousse" as I was told it was when I took it back to the staff I was told "sorry you didn't know" so $29 in the trash The exterior is sticky and waxy and the "mousse" was a rubbery cheesecake type of texture and sooo sweet inside but the outside was pretty flavorless...for a spot that advertises French mousse desserts this was not the light and airy texture of any mousse I've tried before. And for $10.50 each piece it was a regretful experience the OATMILK latte was ok but it all went into the trash read more

I had high hopes for this café since a close friend picked it for my birthday brunch. The space itself is cute, clean, and has a really nice aesthetic. Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't quite live up to the vibe. Parking was a bit of a nightmare to start. Once we got inside, the coffees and smoothies were surprisingly tiny for the price. The croissants tasted old and dry and were actually pretty tough to cut with a fork and knife. Fresh croissants should be flaky and pull apart easily, so that was disappointing. Most of the desserts were just okay. The chocolate on the large chocolate-covered strawberry tasted like a very low-grade chocolate, and the fruit tart lacked much flavor. The pistachio cake, however, was genuinely delicious and ended up being the standout of the table. Service was decent and the place is definitely cute, but overall the experience didn't quite match the hype I had hoped for--especially for a birthday brunch spot. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place at all. If you're looking to try the "viral pastries" and want something actually good save your time and go to Baklovah off of Wurzbach, It's much much better. The place is cute and there is outside seating which is nice, I only tried the mousse desserts so I can't speak about the other pastries but these were terrible, couldn't finish it after one bite The "Mousse" really just tastes like the cheap thick icing you'd find on a cheap cake. There's little to no fruit in there and is way too sweet. The Matcha was okay no real complaints there. The service was also fine but for a total of $50 for 3 pastries and a drink save your time and money and go elsewhere. read more

This is a little late review. I went a week or 2 after they opened. Seeing all the positive reviews and pictures I had hopes that finally San Antonio will have a solid French inspired bakery. Sadly it was not the case. Yes all the desserts are beautiful however coming from a country that has so many French bakeries this place isn't it! Still it is a very cute place for a get together and enjoying a coffee and pair it with something sweet. The desserts are too sweet! The mousse is solid rock! Which I am realizing it is more a ganache than a mousse. I saw some desserts oozing in the case not sure if it is poor achievement or they have been sitting in there for a while The service was great! Very helpful and kind read more

The inside is cute and comfy but not spacious enough for the amount of business that they receive. The wait was out the door when we arrived Sunday around 11:30. The wait to order took about 30 minutes. When we got to the front the lady told us she was new so it took her a minute to get our order into the computer. The pastries were beautifully displayed and mainly the reason we came from seeing the online, but I didn't wanna ask too many questions because she didn't seem sure/confident in the menu. The wait for our coffee and one entree was about another 20 minutes. They were pretty busy so I will give them grace about that. The coffee was absolutely tasteless. The "graham cracker latte" was just cinnamon as if they took the top off and dumped it in. The croissant was delicious so that is the only reason they get 2 stars. Don't know if it's worth coming back to try the dessert. read more

10 out of 10 start to finish. As soon as the door opened, we were pleasantly greeted by two wonderful hostesses that were behind the counter. They have very nice couch seating, books to read, and tables. Then we began to survey the various desserts on display. They have baked items, cheesecakes, and so much more. I decide to have a slice of their burnt top cheesecake with a side of strawberry jam and my daughter had the cheesecake in a cup. Both were fantastically creamy and flavorful. They even gave us a plate of sliced strawberries. This was a perfect follow up to our dinner. read more

La Cafe - All the goodies - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This restaurant is fairly new and is still establishing itself in the Alamo Ranch community. It was our first time visiting La Cafe and the experience was okay. Ambience was bright and clean. No background music playing to elevate the vibe though. Service was good and the cashier was knowledgeable about the drinks, but didn't say anything that made me feel like they were happy to have us. Food came out in a timely manner but nothing about it made it stand out in my opinion. I had the avocado toast w/ egg and I think it would've tasted better if there was a slice of tomato and a drizzle of balsamic on it. Speaking of balsamic, I did like their dressing on the greens. My husband ordered the breakfast sandwich and again, there was nothing that made it stand out. I also ordered their iced tiramisu latte w/ almond milk and it was good. Again, nothing about it really stood out. We ordered the creamy cheesecake to go, but haven't tried it yet. They had a variety of pastries and baked goods which looked interesting to me, and I would be willing to go back to try them another time. My guess is that they're Turkish goods, since they offered a few Turkish items on the menu. Another thing that I'd like to try are their crepes. When it was time to leave, we weren't sure if we left our dishes at the table or if we had to bus our dishes. I did see a long table next to the ordering counter, so I took our dishes there. There were a few workers behind the counter so I thought they'd take my dishes but they didn't, so I just set them in the counter. With the three of them standing there and assuming that we were leaving (my husband was at the door), they'd thank us for stopping by but they didn't say anything. All in all, I think with a little more effort to make customers feel welcome and appreciated as well as somehow elevating their food, this restaurant can do very well. read more

Great breakfast croissant. Laite nice. Service great. Thanks. First time. Very pleasant and easy atmosphere.

Very disappointed. We were so excited for this cute cafe, but unfortunately our drinks were a fail. Although my honey comb latte was ok it wasn't hot, and our ICED matcha latte was awful-tasted like watered down ... not even sure how to describe it. It was so bad I asked for more matcha and a bit of cane sugar and when it was returned it was lukewarm, still unsweetened. As you can see from the photo, no ice. Not sure if they are still learning to make matcha since it wasn't on the menu but it was seriously so so bad I will never go there again. I leave 2 stars instead of 1 bc he was nice. read more

I really loved my first visit to La Cafe and will be back! Easy parking with a lot out front, and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I came to get some reading and writing done, so I stayed for a couple of hours. The ambiance inside was mostly quiet and chill, when it got busier it did get a little louder but nothing you can't block out with some headphones. I had the four cheese panini and a latte, came out to around $20 which wasn't bad as it was enough food to take half to go. Inside was clean and well decorated. There's books and games if you have a group of friends. Staff was also friendly, attentive, and answered all my questions. Shout out to Linda, she was a sweetheart! read more
